"Boys Do Fall in Love" is a song by British singer-songwriter Robin Gibb. It was released as the lead single from his 1984 third solo album Secret Agent.[1]

The single was released on Polydor Records in the UK and Mirage Records in the US. Its B-side is the track "Diamonds", also from Secret Agent. Both songs were written by Robin and Maurice Gibb.[2]

Composition

Gibb wrote "Boys Do Fall in Love" with his brother Maurice along with six other songs on the album Secret Agent. The song was recorded between March and June 1984, and was registered in April that year. The song is memorable for its synthesizer riff played by Rob Kilgore and Maurice Gibb.[2][3]

Release and chart performance

"Boys Do Fall in Love" was released as a single in many countries and became one of Gibb's biggest hits in the United States. In the UK, Canada, Italy, Germany and Spain, the single was titled as "Boys (Do Fall in Love)".[4] It reached the top 40 charts in several countries, including the United States where it peaked at No. 37.[5] In the UK, the song only managed to chart at No. 107, but was more successful in South Africa and Italy, peaking at numbers 7 and 10, respectively. It also reached No. 8 on the Dance/Disco Top 80 chart on July 21, 1984.[6] Mirage pushed the song's promo version, run by Gibb's old friend Jerry L. Greenberg from Atlantic Records.[2] In October 1984, "Boys Do Fall in Love" was certified gold along with Duran Duran's "The Reflex", Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do with It" and Laid Back's "Sunshine Reggae".[7]

Cash Box said that "the classic Bee Gees sound and knack for a hook is intact though noticeably updated."[8]
